I take it these were pretty expensive?

9.99 each not bad really, still more coming out

You paid in BP, so roughly that would translate to almost $20 here in Canada. That's not bad. They are sealed?

Just bought the latest 2 volumes of Iron Man comics I've been thoroughly enjoying them, this is my favourite series of comics besides DC's new Batman series that started last September.

Fear Itself: Invincible Iron Man - (#504-509)

Invincible Iron Man: Demon - (#510-515)





I heard that they're renumbering a bunch of Marvel comics back to #1 starting in October. That means I still have to get issues 516-527 before that happens =P

I plan on posting my collection of comics later today, I started last year so it's still pretty small.

Marvel Cancels Nine Titles to Pave Way for Marvel NOW! Re-Launch in Fall

The time has come for Marvel to end many of their long-running comic book titles and they have officially announced they will be canceling nine titles for the Marvel NOW! re-launch starting this fall.

As their competition did one year ago, Marvel is following suit and the following titles are being canceled after the issue number listed for a reboot.


-Captain America #19
-Fantastic Four #611
-FF #23
-Incredible Hulk #15
-Invincible Iron Man #527
-New Mutants #50
-The Mighty Thor #22
-Uncanny X-Men #20
-X-Men Legacy #275


Marvel is making a bold statement even though they are more or less following the competition now by taking the path to start many of their books fresh at No. 1 again, but will it work?

The most important part of this plan is who will be writing and who will be drawing each title. Right now only Captain America (Rick Remender and John Romita Jr.) and Iron Man (Kieron Gillen and Greg Land) have been confirmed to have new creative teams, while others are sure to be announced this week during the 2012 San Diego Comic Con. Stay tuned.

It's like what DC did last year when they rebooted 52 of their titles, good jumping point for whoever was interested in reading comics but didn't know where to start

[DreDayDetox]

So I'm assuming this reboot is kinda like when they did Ultimates?

[supergamer]

I think they're calling it a 'soft reboot'. In a soft reboot, everything that happened before has still happened, it's just that the comic books are still designed to be 100% accessible to new readers. As opposed to DC's new 52 hard reboot, where everything that happened before has been wiped clean and starts anew.

If that's really the Extremis armour, i'm not digging all that gold there.

Its actually more whiteish in color.

[DreDayDetox]

Isn't Extremis powered by nanotech anyway? Coming from him wanting to put it on consciously?

[supergamer]

I really want to love the design, but that just looks way too out of place.


For people who've already read the Extremis story:

Spoiler

Hopefully Iron Man gets smashed up wearing this armour at the beginning of the movie, and then when he gets injected with the Extremis serum to survive, he makes himself a much better one =P

I dont like the design either but i will admit i dont mind it. It doesnt bother me like Amazing Spidermans did. For me this suit is fine for a his stand alone Iron Man movie but im really hoping that isnt his suit from here on out and in Avengers 2. I will hate that.

[supergamer]

I want to see him wear the Bleeding Edge Armour for Avengers 2/3, now that would be awesome. Full nanotech, unlike Extremis' half efforts.

Not all of us keep up with all the armors Iron Man wears so could you please post a pic of that armor?

No worries, the comics i just read (2010-2011 issues) just introduced this armour, so this isn't the one he currently wears to my knowledge.

In Invincible Iron Man #25 (2010), Tony creates a new armor in the aftermath of the "Stark: Disassembled" storyline.[11] Created by writer Matt Fraction and artist Ryan Meinerding, this new armor is sleeker in appearance, and is featured in the 2010 crossover storyline, the "Heroic Age".[12]

Disputing the Bleeding Edge as an upgrade to Extremis, Tony Stark commented, "Nah - this is what comes next." As such the new armor is a part of Tony Stark's now-posthuman biology - it is stored inside Tony's body in its entirety, "manifesting" itself when mentally commanded.[13]

The neurokinetic user-controlled morphologic nanoparticle bundles that form the suit reside in Stark's body, and form a fibrous wetweb of iron and platinum,[14] that can be commanded to form any type of structure upon Stark's skin, such as large boxing gloves,[15] or weapons, including large guns extending from his arms[14] or a lightsaber-like energy sword with which Iron Man was actually able to harm one of the Worthy during the 2011 "Fear Itself" storyline.[16] The nano-machines can even mimic the appearance of clothes, and then dissociate to transform into the Iron Man armor whenever Stark wishes.[17] The suit adds less than twenty-five pounds to Stark's body mass, and can stop a howitzer shell.[14]

The armor and Stark's own transhuman body are powered by the high-yield arc reactor mounted in his chest.[13] The high output of the arc reactor has greatly augmented Stark's intelligence and provided him superhuman-level multitasking and learning capabilities. Unlike earlier armors, this new armor does not appear to rely on motors and servos for motion. Instead, the nano-machines create a secondary artificial musculature over Stark's body, upon which additional rigid structures are assembled. This also enables the armor to self-repair and be almost invulnerable, as the armor is capable of transforming and healing itself as long as the power output from the arc reactor is not interrupted or terminated; when the armor was briefly apparently destroyed in a fight with an alternate version of the Scarlet Witch who was one of Apocalypse's Horsemen, it was restored to normal after only a matter of seconds (although it was still out of action long enough for Stark to need rescuing by Spider-Man to stop himself hitting the ground as he fell).[18]

The suit's repulsors, which are located around the knuckles, chest, back and legs of the armor, as well as in the traditional palms, now function also as cameras, or "eyeballs", which afford Stark a 360-degree panoramic view around himself.[14]

I love that armor design and i agree that would be fantastic for Avengers 2.

[DreDayDetox]

This probably will never happen, but my dream armor to see him in is the Hulkbuster and the battle that ensues.

Can you spoiler tag quick summaries of Infinity Gauntlet and Thanos Imperitive for me please?
People have been telling me to read them but i just dont read comic anymore.

[THUGGEDOUT]

I have to say that I have been impressed by some of DC's New 52 titles, very good stuff.
